Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin has been suspended 25 games, without
pay, after testing positive for amphetamine usage, the league announced.
Maybin, 27, was hitting .247/.286/.368 with a homer and three steals in 62
games this season. He missed most of the season’s first month as he
recovered from a torn tendon in his biceps. From a financial standpoint, the
suspension will cost Maybin about $683K of his $5MM salary.
This is the second notable suspension of a Major Leaguer for amphetamine
usage in 2014, as former Orioles reliever Troy Patton (who, coincidentally,
is now a teammate of Maybin), began the year serving a 25-game suspension for
Adderall usage. In 2013, Carlos Ruiz had to serve the same suspension to open
the season.
教士隊外野手Cameron Maybin在藥檢中對安非他命呈陽性反應，聯盟宣佈Maybin將被
禁賽25場並且不支付薪水。
27歲的Maybin在今年的62場出賽中交出.247/.286/.368的打擊三圍，包含一發全壘打
還有3次盜壘，今年因肱二頭肌撕裂傷缺陣開季的Maybin將損失約$683K的薪水。(本季
年薪$5MM)
這是本季第二起因使用安非他命遭到禁賽的案例，Troy Patton因使用Adderall(
一種含安非他命的藥物，主要用來治療注意力不足過動症(ADHD)。)而遭到25場的禁賽。
2013年 Carlos Ruiz同樣也遭到禁賽25場的處分。
Maybin has issued the following statement through the Major League Baseball
Players Association:
“I have been undergoing treatment for several years for a medical condition,
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), for which I previously had a Therapeutic
Use Exemption (TUE). Unfortunately, in my attempts to switch back to a
medicine that had been previously ok’d, I neglected to follow all the rules
and as a result I tested positive. I want to assure everyone that this was a
genuine effort to treat my condition and I was not trying in any way to gain
an advantage in my baseball career. I understand that I must accept
responsibility for this mistake and I will take my punishment and will not
challenge my suspension. I apologize to my family, friends, fans, teammates,
and the entire Padres organization. I look forward to returning to the field
and contributing to the success of my Club.”
關於此事，Maybin表示他因為長期接受ADHD的治療而使用安非他命。
